GBP Chapter 567 Jiangdong Rascals
Chapter 567 Jiangdong Rascals
Of course, the twelve tiger generals of Jiangdong each had unique and astonishing behaviors, and it can be said that almost none of them conformed to the standards of ordinary people.
To put it simply, there are very few normal people among them!
Look at Cheng Pu. As the leader of the Twelve Tiger Generals, he should have been a role model that everyone admired. However, in order to vent his anger, he inhumanely slaughtered villages and wantonly set them on fire. What's even more despicable is that he actually accused these innocent people of rebellion. This is truly outrageous!
Then look at Chen Wu; his actions are even more shocking and unconventional.
After his death, he actually demanded that women be buried with him, which was a unique act of human sacrifice during the entire Three Kingdoms period!
Is such a cruel thing something a normal person could do?
......................
And then there's Gan Ning, who, though incredibly brave, has a capricious and unpredictable personality.
His cook fled to Lü Meng for refuge after making a mistake. Gan Ning personally went to Lü Meng's place to demand the cook's return and solemnly promised in public that he would never harm the cook's life.
However, after the cook was brought back, Gan Ning betrayed his promise, tied him to a tree, and then shot him to death with a hail of arrows. This fickle and ruthless behavior was truly outrageous.
As for Pan Zhang, he was greedy by nature and, in order to amass wealth, he did not hesitate to allow his soldiers to engage in business and make money.
Once he had made his money, a conflict arose with his deputy over the unequal distribution of the spoils, and he ultimately killed his deputy.
Moreover, it was he who, together with Lü Meng, carried out the plan of crossing the river in disguise.
Dong Xi, on the other hand, was in a sorry state when facing Zhang Liao. He abandoned his troops and soldiers and fled in panic, jumping into the river.
Speaking of Xu Sheng, during the Battle of Hefei against Zhang Liao, as soon as he saw the situation was not good, he did not hesitate to become the first person to lead his soldiers to flee.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was the most cowardly and afraid of death. He could only fight when things were going well, and once he encountered adversity, he would run away like a rabbit.
Examples like this are countless; such individuals are numerous within the Jiangdong Group.
Many people have accused Lü Meng of being a "rotten apple" who spoiled the whole bunch, but that's not actually the case. The real problem is that most of the high-ranking generals are just despicable and shameless scoundrels!
..........................
at this time.
Liu Bei, seated in the main seat, looked at Jia Xu.
Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were both present on either side below, along with Qian He.
Jia Xu put down his wine cup and bowed slightly: "My lord is too kind. I should have given my life for you, but this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to consider it."
Everyone looked at Jia Xu, and the atmosphere became slightly tense.
Seeing this, Qianhe slowly spoke: "Mr. Wenhe, do you know that the world's affairs are like a game of chess, and you are now the one holding the pieces? If you help Liu Bei, you may achieve great things and leave your name in history."
Conversely, they risk becoming mired in difficulties and meeting a bad end.
Chizuru's words could also be considered a threat.
Although you are a cunning strategist, your assistance to Liu Bei now is of great use.
As for Zhuge Liang, Qianhe planned to have him go to Wolonggang to invite him later.
But for now, the priority is to take Jingzhou!
Jia Xu's eyes flickered. Seeing Qian He's state, he sighed, then pondered for a moment before rising and clasping his hands in a fist salute: "My lord has great ambitions and is so courteous to scholars. I am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty and assist you in restoring the Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately began discussing strategy with Jia Xu.
Qianhe left, intending to return to Maoshan!
And at this very moment.
The news of Wancheng changing hands spread throughout the land.
All parties were either alarmed or fearful.
Liu Biao of Jingzhou was somewhat shocked.
Originally, he allied with Zhang Xiu to fight against Cao Cao, which could be considered a strategic alliance.
So you're just going to surrender to Liu Bei like this?
Damn?
If they head south, the gateway to Jingzhou and Xiangyang will be lost!
And he is right here in Xiangyang!
.........................
Liu Biao was restless in Xiangyang and immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.
"Gentlemen, Zhang Xiu has surrendered to Liu Bei. If Wancheng is lost, our Jingzhou will be in grave danger," Liu Biao said with a furrowed brow.
Liu Bei was just a nobody, relying solely on his title as the Imperial Uncle, and he was truly unhappy about it!
Liu Biao was a descendant of Liu Yu, the King of Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty!
This is far more valuable than being a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan!
And at this time.
Cai Mao, one of his subordinates, stepped forward and said, "My lord, do not be anxious. Although Liu Bei has captured Wancheng, his military strength is still weak. Moreover, our Jingzhou army is strong and well-equipped. As long as we hold the city, Liu Bei will be helpless against us."
Liu Biao shook his head: "Weak? He has 50,000 troops, and you're telling me he's weak? What's wrong? You, the naval commander, think you can defeat him?"
After Liu Biao finished speaking, he gave him a sidelong glance.
Cai Mao was inwardly apprehensive, but outwardly he feigned nonchalance and said, "That's right. If it weren't for the fact that our lord had previously allied with Zhang Xiu, I would have taken his dog's head long ago!"
Liu Biao didn't say anything when he heard Cai Mao's boastful words.
How could he not know what abilities Cai Mao possessed?
If he were capable, their Jingzhou navy wouldn't have been suppressed and beaten by the Jiangdong navy.
“Liu Bei is known for his benevolence and righteousness. If he uses this as a pretext to attack Jingzhou, I fear the people will side with him,” Cai Mao said after thinking for a moment.
